2003 Kawasaki Prairie 650 front drive axle removal

[hangingon]

Anyone know how to get the front axle out of the front diff 03 kawasaki prairie 650 one side just pulled out the other side being the left I can not get out.

Was there a little grove with a cir-clip on the axle you removed? If that is the case I usually push the axle all the way in then give it a good yank out. You have to compress the clip to free the axle.

I know with the Arctic Cats if you get one side out you can see the other axle and use a punch and tap the opposite axle out.

Thank you I sometimes take it to easy to get things apart in fear of breaking a part. Today I used my man power and popped the axle out. It's nice having 2 of almost everything.

What has been the difficulty level of this project so far? Will you have to set carrier lash when you reinstall everything? I have a feeling this is the problem with my fathers Kiwi

It's not to bad at all It's the things like getting the exhuast to slip off from the front pipe I had a problem getting 1 front axle too pull out of the diff. On my old quad the axles came out with no trouble today. It's just alot of parts and you have to remember I pulled stuff off that doesn't need to come off if I didn't want to paint the frame. I'm pulling everything off my old quad for the extra parts since the frame is no good.
